Please somebody tell me if this is wrong. We did a lab on reactivity in class (mixed a buch of metals w/ a bunch of nonmetals), and a post lab question is to say what ions tin and lead formed by looking at our data. I don't really no what this means, but here was my thought process.
The possible valences for tin and lead are +2, +4, and -4 right?? And since metals always "want" to lose electrons, and non metals always want to gain electrons I figured that when they bonded sn and pb would get a +2 or +4 charge, cuz they lost electrons. However, my instinct just tells me this is wrong, and I didnt use the data like the questino said to. I would appreciate any help, and promise to give 10 pts to best answer. at the very least pls confirm or deny my thought process.

Most of the time, tin and lead have +2 or +4 charge, but this depends on what nonmetals it is attached to, when attached to a relatively electro positive element it could be -4.

X stands for the kisses simply by fact they're meant to represent lips and the O stands for hugs reason they supply the impact of being like palms joined in a hug. i replaced into perplexed in the past each and every thing too, yet I asked somebody and now i understand! Lolz, hassle-free themes that should % to have us perplexed!
